For the life of me, I don't understand why

	SomeClass x[100];

needs to invoke SomeClass::SomeClass when

	simpleCType x[100];

has no need to do such.  My intuition would be that in the former case
I have merely allocated space for 100 instances of SomeClass and that no
initialization was asked for or even desirable.

Can someone explain this feature to me?  I fail to see the current C++
behaviour as a desirable feature.

thanks,
Tim Atkins
